I asked the NPGMC some questions, and while their answeres weren't incredibly thought-provoking, it does show them to be very confident about getting us our 4 cds. take a looksy.

1.) what is happening with the live album exactly? is it being released as
part of our 4 cds, or are we getting the chance to buy it earlier then the
public. give me any details you can.

We do not have additional info at this time. We would prefer 2 make any
announcements when everything is finalized.

>2.) I don't want to come off as pushy, but we are supposed to get 3 more cds
before february of next year. are they going to reach us in time? do you know
when the next one might be coming? are they going to spill over into next year?
are you going to have to send them over all together, in one big batch?

U will get them by the end of the year. 4 months seems like enuff time.

>3.) also, are the responses to the NPG commentary: "let's Get Deep" going to
get posted in the Utellus section?

Yes. Tho we r not involved in writing that piece.

>thank you for taking the time to read my quesrtions, and providing me with the
information you can. keep up the good work guys and gals!
>love

And do you mean to tell me that as a paying member of the NPGMC you're actually satisfied with those answers?... enough that you thought it worthy of posting here at the org?

hmmm... lol...

Is the 'Very confident NPGMC' line supposed to be sarcastic?
They don't sound like they have a clue as to what's going on with those CD's. You could have asked all us Orgers those questions & gotten the same answers!

I don't know if they will dliver, but they sound pretty sure about 4months being enought tiem for 3 cds (!) I don't believe this myself, considering how long it took ONA to get to us. but I am just posting what they told me to spread what they were claiming. who knows, maybe it will actually happen... BTW, I only called it "very conmfident NPGMC" bercuase I thought they soudned pretty confident about the CDs.v Also,m I am not that satisfied with the answers, I was just sharing the news.

All i know is the NPGMC could do doing a hellava lot more business by updating their site and merchandise all the time and giving us things to buy and read.

Prince should update the site himself when he can...letters, diary entries, thoughts on life - whatever.

And with all the music and footage he has in the vault he could spoon feed us all for years!!!

AT LEAST spread the 4 CD's out a little more evenly throughout the year...where's the fun in getting one CD 4 months into the 'year' then the other 3 altogether???

I feel better now!

i agree it would be nice to be more even, but, being the optimist that I am...it would be cool to get three brand new albums all at once! But I just hope that in a few years the site will be working properly, becuase right now it is very cool in concept, but has some problems in the delivery as Derek said.
